Dear Narcissist

Dear Narcissist, 
            You draw me into your illusion 
Your tender kiss causes such confusion 
I feel your pain and want to lift you up
I let you drink from my soul's precious cup
Depleting my cup of my life water;you keep drinking 
Your self-esteem is expanding;while mine is shrinking 
Your emotions I absorb as mine 
Where do mine begin;I've blurred the line 
I plant the seed of your disrespect 
Give you all you need;what should I expect 
I have a need to heal and you for acceptance 
Thus leads to our unhealthy dependence 
This is how our relationship will be 
Until I from you I find a way to break free 
                         Loving,
                                   Empath
